From the start, their communication was precise and timely, which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and value was unbeatable - the space was incredibly versatile, allowing us to have both a DJ and karaoke, and they were flexible in letting us bring in an outside food vendor, which was a huge perk. This venue was also a great spot for our after-birthday celebration, as the process was easy and the staff was so accommodating to our needs. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Cantina to any couple looking for an affordable, functional, and flexible after party venue.

My husband and I got married here June 1st this year and would highly recommend the Lake Nepessing Boat Club to any couple looking for a wedding venue. Absolutely beautiful setting both inside and out. If you haven’t been here in the past 3 years, check it out.The new owners, Justin and Tracy, have updated the venue and it is beautiful. They also go above and beyond to make the venue exactly what you envision for the day of. All of our vendors had nothing but good things to say about how accessible the building is to bring in and take out any equipment. They offer the option to book it for the entire weekend (highly recommend) which allowed us enough time the day before and after to set up and tear down without feeling rushed on our wedding day. Perfect venue for a lakefront wedding.

I had a wonderful experience working with the team at Lake Forest Golf Club for my couples recent wedding. They were incredibly organized, fun, and knowledgeable throughout the entire planning process.

We were very happy we booked our ceremony at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. First of all, the gardens were gorgeous. We had our wedding in early June in the Perennial Gardens, and it's even more beautiful than it looks in photos. During the planning process, Monica was very easy to reach and very organized. We live out of state, but Monica was able to give a tour to my family (who live in town) while my husband and I were on FaceTime so we could see the space, and even gave us another tour once we were in town. We didn't have a day-of coordinator, but we really didn't need one with all of Monica's help. Monica helped us run the rehearsal (along with our officiant), and had assistants on the day of the wedding helping everything run smoothly. They had spaces for the bridal party to "hide" before the ceremony and took us through a back-entrance to the garden so the guests wouldn't see us before the ceremony. They helped us get lined up on time, and Monica even adjusted my dress and veil before walking down the aisle. From our guests perspective, parking was easy and there were signs directing them to the ceremony location. Given that this is an outdoor venue, there's always the risk of rain. However, Monica can help you pick the right time of year to minimize your risk. There's also information on the website about which gardens are at their peak bloom at different times of the year. Overall, we had a fantastic experience with Matthaei! We would recommend this location to anyone looking for an outdoor wedding.

Elizabeth Birch worked with us to helped us achieve the perfect wedding of our dreams. From the beautifully landscaped ceremony, photo, and reception spaces, to the outstanding food and service, there was no detail overlooked. Elizabeth helped us coordinate the entire wedding long-distance. I was in Florida, and the bride was in Chicago. But with her guidance, we were able to coordinate the local vendors needed to pull off a dream wedding.
